For fans of Russell Peters, Trevor Noah, and Mark Critch comes a hilarious debut memoir about family, pursuing our passions, and figuring out who we are, by stand-up comedian and popular CBC host, Ali Hassan. Growing up, Ali Hassan was a chameleon. His friends came from many different backgrounds and religionsTrinidadian, Parsi, Goan, Hindu, Christian, Sikh.

But the world has a funny way of reminding you who you are, and Hassan's Muslim Pakistani family and community did, too. In this heartfelt and funny memoir, based on his hit stand-up comedy, Hassan shares his lifelong journey to becoming a "cultural Muslim"learning to walk the line of embracing his heritage while following his passions and being true to himself. From failing to learn Arabicor much of anythingin Sunday school and visiting family in Pakistan who mocked him relentlessly, to discovering the wonders of pepperoni as a teenager and being a celebrity judge at Ribfest, he finds himself in compromising situations that challenge his beliefs and identity. Now, as a father of four, he has to answer his children's questions and try to explain his point of view. But he can't just "give them" an identity as a cultural Muslim. Sharing his story is the next best thing. With the perfect blend of humour and insight, Is There Bacon in Heaven? explores the deep need to belong that exists in everyone.
